Dining Review: Captain Daniel Packer Inne in Mystic, CT

We were recently in Mystic, CT, passing through on our way to a wedding. Mystic is a quaint little town, with some very good shopping, a bustling town center, an old drawbridge that just might trap you on one side or the other, as well as the Mystic Aquarium. There is a lot to do

Visit to the Biltmore Estate – February 2019

It’s been several years since we visited the largest privately owned house in America, nestled into the hillsides of Asheville, N.C., with expansive views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and a combination of history, relaxation and outdoor activity that makes for a splendid getaway. I am talking, of course, about the Biltmore Estate. George W.

Dining Review – Assaggio’s Italian Restaurant in Raleigh, N.C.

Recently out shopping for furniture near our new home in North Carolina, we followed a recommendation and stopped in at Assaggio’s Italian Restaurant, in Raleigh, N.C., for a late lunch. The restaurant is located at the back of a small plaza, tucked away a little, so be careful not to miss it. It was pretty

Restaurant Review – Matadora: A Bit of Spain in Woburn, Massachusetts

On a recent business trip I found myself dining at Matadora, inside the Hilton Boston/Woburn Hotel in Woburn, MA.

This is a Spanish Tapas restaurant with a comfortable, open and modern vibe. The night I was there a solo performer playing guitar and singing Spanish songs added to the authentic atmosphere. The restaurant is located

Dining Review – Basta on Broad in Cranston, RI

Sometimes in life you look back on something and wonder, “why did it take us so long to do this?” It could be a simple thing around the house, a minor, inexpensive thing that makes life easier, or a place you’ve always meant to go but just didn’t seem to get to. Here we’ll cross

Dining Review – Cucina Rustica in Cranston, RI

We haven’t done a dining review in a while. That’s a little unusual, as we haven’t stopped eating. It’s just that there has been so much wine to talk about. So let’s take a little time and catch up on a restaurant review or two. We’ll start with Cucina Rustica on Atwood Avenue in Cranston,

Dining Review – Baba Sushi & Hot Pot in Sturbridge, MA

A really good sushi restaurant is hard to find. In Worcester, MA, Baba Sushi has gained a reputation for being just that. We’re not in Worcester very often, but we are frequently in Sturbridge, MA, and it so happens that Baba Sushi opened a second location in this quaint town. This could turn out to

Dining Review – Saffron in Morrisville, NC

Over the Christmas holiday we found ourselves in Morrisville, NC, visiting family. One of our forays out for food brought us to Saffron, in a strip mall near a Harris Teeter supermarket. The setting screamed strip mall food, and the inside really didn’t scream anything differently, but the proof is what’s on the plate. The
